Quote:

Brazilian forward Iziane Castro Marques has a confession. Shocked

"I don't like to play defense, but I'm too proud to let someone score in my face," she said. "So that makes me play very good defense. It's my role on the team because I guard the best player, so it's what I need to do best."

Donovan expected more of an offensive player when she signed Castro Marques after watching her blossom at the Athens Olympics. She averaged 18.9 points in Russia this past offseason.

"You don't find great defensive players overseas," Donovan said. "Whether it's Europe or South America, they just don't come as great defenders. It's a different mentality [that] she's embraced, which is really impressive. We're just scratching the surface with Izzi."

Looks like even Sue is helping squeeze all the can out of Iziane... Rolling Eyes

Normally if Los Angeles center Lisa Leslie is blocking something, it's an opponent's shot in the paint. Yesterday it was media questions.

Leslie is irked that Houston stuffed the ballots and she's not going to be voted a starter for the July 9 All-Star Game in Connecticut. When asked of her plans, whether she'd use the time to heal a nagging groin injury, Leslie only offered: "I don't know, we're just trying to win."

When asked if she was upset that Comets center Michelle Snow would make her first All-Star start, Leslie repeated: "I don't know, we're just trying to win."

So it's official! Shocked

It wasn't a voting error... Snow really is starting Exclamation
